VGDomain: Where is Prototype 2?

After the announcement of Infamous 2, I'm very surprised there wasn't a Prototype 2 announcement.

I have to agree with not seeing a Prototype 2. I want it! I want it!

Better story this time though, obviously better graphics but everything else was so damn enjoyable about the game.

I hope Radical are working on this and not further raping Crash Bandicoot's soul and legacy, they suit this kind of game a lot more.

UnSelf5054d ago (Edited 5054d ago )

I WANTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT IT

lol i knew Cajun was gon be in here. i seriously think me and you were the only 2 on this site that was hyped for Prototype.

Its the only game i Plat'd and my personal GOTY 09

deadreckoning6665054d ago (Edited 5054d ago )

Prototype was a very enjoyable game...just not worth the $60 I paid for it. The abilities Mercer had were awesome, but the game had many flaws.

-Story could have been alot better
-Character models and animations were subpar
-Most buildings weren't destructible(this is mainly why I think Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction was better)
-The city and its pedestrians were bland and unlively
-The game got old fast

I wouldn't buy a sequel unless all the above things I mentioned get improved upon. Co-op would be nice as well.

Cajun Chicken5054d ago

Prototype was my pre-Crackdown 2.

deepmovievoice5054d ago

i agree. let sleeping bandicoots lie, and give me more mutant mass murdering! its one of the few games you dont get punished for just wailing on people

dizzleK5054d ago

why would there be a sequel to a mediocre game that's completely forgotten about?

basicsameh5145054d ago

@dizzleK
there is alot of mediocre games like wkc..wait there making a sequel?! prototype unlike those games was fun

im saying this because in one of your comments you said you like wkc

sikbeta5054d ago (Edited 5054d ago )

WKC is mediocre? Yeah... if you're a FPS-lover...

O-T

The Thing I liked about the Game was the "feel" of Madness-Destruction, other than that, It wasn't that Good Imo

deepmovievoice5054d ago

Perfect? No. Garbage? Not Really.

Iron man was garbage. Yaris was garbage

UnSelf5054d ago

let em hate deep

it was trash just like Infamous was trash.

(gasp!) Infamous wasnt trash?? then neither was Prototype

sikbeta5054d ago

lol you go too far with that comparison, Iron-man the Game sucks Bad..

stuntman_mike5054d ago

i agree prototype wasnt garbage but was very flawed gameplay and the story was pretty poorly done.

@Bubbles

how you can even compare prototype to infamous is a joke, infamous beats the hell out of prototype and the second one looks even better.

but i hope radical make another prototype it had potential.

UnSelf5054d ago (Edited 5054d ago )

gamers this gen are the worst i have ever seen. ya r so caught up in how a game looks that it pleases ya more so than the gameplay itself.

As bland as Ptype may have been it offered almost an infinite amount of playability and ways to tackle certain missions. You had a MYRIAD of powers ranging in everything. In infamous all u had was electricity. And when that drain u just go to a power source and charge. Then repeat.

Yes infamous was a great game but i partly believe a lot of that was due to its comparison to Prototype. No one and i mean absolutely no one gave Ptype a fair chance and judged it on its fun factor. Reviewers are a joke but u gamers are a laughing stock.

PS3 fans are the worst because they come from a generation where visuals werent they best selling point and learn to appreciate and love games based on how FUN they were and not how GOOD they looked. It seems like almost everyone forgot just a few years ago that it was Xbox fans who kept rubbing gfx in our faces, now its the other way around. Hypocrisy doesnt even begin to describe it.

Yea Prototype isnt perfect because of its many flaws including its abysmal graphics. But that is a far-cry from its gameplay and if you really wanna compare Ptype's gameplay to InFamous, we can do that.

in fact.....allow me: Please, only ppl who owned both games read, as everyone elses opinion is asinine.

Power Variety: Prototype, no need to explain

Speed factor: Prototype

Climbing: Infamous

Ways of traversing: Prototype. Infamous just had running, a hovering move, and gliding on wires. Prototype had tanks, running, speed upgrades, a dash, air dash all upgradeable, a helicopter, a arm that can latch on to things, and an armored Alex that can plow through anything.

Destruction: Prototype. its biggest selling point.

Mission Variety: Infamous, just barely.

Ways of tackling missions: Prototype. I can disguise myself, fight my way in. Use a tank. Use a helicopter. Use any one of my multiple powers. Use help from the Infected. Use help from the military.

Side Missions: Infamous. though i thoroughly enjoyed Ptype's side missions, Infamous' were more fleshed out.

Story: Infamous

Sound: Equal

Pacing: Equal

Replayability: Infamous. It had Karma choices. Nuff said.

As you can see i purposely left out gfx simply because that seems to be the only merits in which games nowadays are judge on. Prototype is the exception that proves the rule.

As simple looking as MVC2, is still the most played and wanted fighting game ever made. You gfx whores are cheap like real whores, and ya wouldnt know a fun game if it was up ya ass

callahan095054d ago (Edited 5054d ago )

Personally speaking, and again I reiterate personally -- this is an opinion, so don't bite my head off, please...I thought Prototype was absolutely garbage. Trash. Definitely. As bad as Iron Man, if not worse. I hated it. Terrible mission structures and world design, lame story & characters, mediocre graphics (and that's being generous) coupled with bad animations, poorly implemented controls, abilities, gameplay mechanics, boss fights, success/failure conditions, enemy A.I., need I go on? For me, it's easily one of the worst games I've played this generation. I honestly don't understand what anybody could have liked about it, it was just such an unbearable chore to play. The original Crackdown and the original inFamous, those are shining examples of this genre done right. Prototype shouldn't even be compared to those two excellent games.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos1d 5h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto1d 4h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger881d 4h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies18h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

Six Activision Games I’d Like to See Revived Under Microsoft

As the world reels from the shockwaves of the seismic news that Microsoft is acquiring the proverbial swamp of the video-game landscape, Activision Blizzard King, it only seems natural that our minds should now shift towards what the fallout will be for presumably years if not decades to come.

MadLad824d ago

Another Prototype would be awesome.

As for Singularity, I don't necessarily need a sequel, I just want to see Raven be able to flex their creative muscle again; not just be relegated to assisting with CoD. A lot of the old guard is still with the company.

That's part of what I'm hoping to see come from this acquisition. Revive teams like Vicarious Visions and Ravem to actually allow them to work on their own new projects again.

Crows90824d ago

As great as that would be the deal wont finalize until end of fiscal year 2023. Until after that date MS wont really have a say as to where resources will be spent. So we wont realistically see anything until perhaps 2026 or later.

LWOGaming823d ago

I think that’s a point that so many people are missing. Things will not change this year or next year at all. Maybe some changes might be apparent in 2024 but 2025/2026 is a good estimate of when things will really start happening. And I don’t think we will see as big a set of changes as some are suggesting.

TallDarknWavy824d ago

Those teams having not worked on anything, the employees find jobs at other companies, they don't just remain unemployed till someone at the publisher decides to revive the team, they need to eat lol

That said, this list of games makes me unexcited for anything outside of CoD that Activision has to offer. All games are in stale genres, like Guitar Hero, Simpsons Hit and Run, these are long surpassed genres that are going to be difficult to revive.

gamer7804824d ago

I want to see new IPs. Not a bunch of forced renovations of old franchises.

Gamer75824d ago

Why not a combination of both

gamer7804824d ago

@gamer75 if it is a combination it has to have my seal of approval. Such as a new Warcraft game or a new Warcraft mmo, or an action game based off the night elves orcs and humans if it’s a new IP. I’ll let you know after I talk with Microsoft

King_Noctis824d ago

Man I’ve been waiting for Protoype since the last one. Protoype could seriously be MS’ answer to Infamous (freaking loved that game as well, hope Sony make a new one soon).

porkChop824d ago

I'd love to see Raven take another crack at Heretic and Hexen.

MadLad823d ago

That's one I see being tossed around a lot to bring back, even if not from Raven themselves.

Put so many hours into those games over the years.

I'd like to see Activision get the Transformers license again and continue the War and Fall of Cybertron games. the movie games were crap and the game that combined both movie and Fall and War of Cybertron sucked a new Prototype would also be good as well.

jaymacx823d ago

You deserve a 1000 likes haha 😂. It’s a shame High Moon didn’t get to continue making Transformers. If they got a decent budget i think most of us TF fans would be excited.

wolf581823d ago (Edited 823d ago )

Ms bought Activision and everybody dancing for what? For cod? Ms want to atleast earn some money Back from those 70 billion dollars.... The only thing they count on is more gamepass subscribers via Activision cod, diablo and over watch 2 1st Day free at gamepass. If they decide to make them exclusive to xbox they Will lose profit from ps4 and 5 sales. As For a New ip or an existing ip like over watch 3,diablo 5 or anything else like a New transformers Dont you think that developers need at least 3 years to Do something decent?
Anyway my opinion is that ms want to make videogaming Just a subscription a la netflix and that ps5 will beat xboxsx in sales like ps4 beat xbox and xbox one x..... All the money ms spending It Will defentily make more gamepass subscribers as for games we all must wait at least 3 more years... And thats why ps5 will get ahead in sales they have more AAA in the pipeline already plus lets see their answer for gamepass... P. S i Dont support subscriptions from neither company and i didnt buy switch plus for n64. If they give me the option to buy n64 games then yes i Will buy them but i am not paying for a rental.

Re-imagining of River Raid and the original adventurer Pitfall. Oh Zork is also a great game.

The Worst Eighth-Gen Remasters

In an industry that grows increasingly reliant on remasters, few were worth complaining about, making the original versions preferable in most respects.

ZeekQuattro971d ago

Not sure what happened with FFCC. They really bungled it big time. It's a shame too.

FinalFantasyFanatic971d ago

I really wanted to play that one too, but after the demo I was disinterested in buying it.

ZeekQuattro970d ago

Glad Square really likes putting out demos. It can help you dodge a bullet. Lol

Rangerman1208971d ago

To this day, the Crystal Chronicles remaster still left me with a sour taste. I really wondered how Square reacted to the feedback.

porkChop971d ago

I thought the Prototype games had terrible graphics even when they first came out. Pretty crazy that the remasters essentially got nothing in the way of visual upgrades. A resolution bump. Yay.

Christopher971d ago

Let alone Activision kept those prices at release price for a year before they even thought to reduce them in a sale.

Petebloodyonion971d ago (Edited 971d ago )

To me, this topic is pretty easy to answer as I recall laughing at loud when Bethesda announced that PPL on consoles (Xbox1 and Ps4) would need to buy Skyrim Special edition and it would be free for existing pc Owner because it was basically the same game at max setting.
I often gave this answers to numerous ppl who where happy about paying 40$ for cheap remaster that would have been free on PC by saying everybody wins PC players gets the upgrade for free because they never paid in the past for quick fix that a mod of graphics card could do and Consoles players get to pay because they love paying and defend the practice of paying (like the numerous I have a VHS tape of the movie why don't they give me a free DVD version).

So for me, any crappy Remasters that deserve to be on this list are the ones that only give a frame boost and resolution boost for a full-price experience from the previous generation. Now ill exclude compilations like Batman, Uncharted Trilogy, Bioshock Trilogy, etc. because they were actually giving you more than 1 game so I'll count them as a collection instead of remasters Nor should I included games that have complete remade graphics or add new playable elements (Metro 2033 Redux, Quake, Gears of War Ultimate)

Since there are too many games ill give some example that comes to mind: Heavy Rain Remaster, The Last of US remaster, God of War 3 remasters, Burnout Paradise city Remaster, Tomb Raider Definitive Edition. Baja: Edge of Control HD, etc.

Again my main complaint here (has it was last gen) is that these kinds of remastering are now free (called performance patches now) but were sold at a premium price despite having almost no work to put in.
